Los Altos Hills /lɔːs ˈæltoʊs ˈhɪlz/ is an incorporated town in Santa Clara County, California, United States. The population was 7,922 at the 2010 census. It is one of the wealthiest towns in the San Francisco Bay Area and in the country.
Two Los Altos Hills ZIP codes appeared on the 2015 Forbes list of America's most expensive ZIP codes, with 94022 ranked the 11th most expensive (with a median home price of $2,896,103) and 94024 ranked the 57th most expensive (with a median home price of $2,527,908).
Los Altos Hills has a ban on commercial zones, which was upheld by the California Court of Appeal (First District) in 1973. The town's only retail commercial operation is the book store on the campus of Foothill College. The town does not have a post office or library, with mail delivery provided from nearby Los Altos.
The town's zoning regulations require a minimum lot size of one acre (4,000 m²), setbacks from the property boundary, and easements for public pathways. Landowners are limited to one primary dwelling per lot, which effectively bans multifamily housing; this ban and the minimum lot size were upheld as constitutional by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in 1974.
